Reclamation of Mining Wastelands

Importance of mining is second only to agriculture and it contributes significantly to the economy of a nation. The use of surface mining techniques and the often-lax environmental protection measures have made public and regulatory bodies aware of the potential negative environmental impacts of this industry. Waste dumps and pits are created, topsoil is often removed and buried under tonnes of mine spoil, surface water hydrology and chemistry changes due to acid mine drainage, groundwater supply is reduced and finally the natural plant succession is negatively affected. This land, if left unattended, would remain unusable for centuries. Greenfield Eco Solutions has developed a package for the successful reclamation of mining wastelands. Particular emphasis placed on understanding the characteristics of successful germplasm selection, characterizing the physical and chemical properties of overburden dumps and mine spoils, restoring land capability, topographic landscaping, rainwater harvesting, creating suitable rooting media, use of reclaimed surfaces for short-term cropping and long-term re-vegetation, and evaluating plant community sustainability. Since 2012 we have successfully reclaimed about 1500 hectaresof mining wastelandsof limestone mining at Birla White and Modi Group of Industries, Giral Lignite Mining RSMM, gypsum mining at Fertilizer Corporation of India, Copper mining at Hindustan Copper Limited and Zinc mining at Hindustan Zinc Limited.
